Spring engagement sessions in Washington, DC are always beautiful, and Caroline and Ebuka’s cherry blossom engagement photos at the National Arboretum was no exception! Caroline chose a classic blue dress, while Ebuka complemented her perfectly in black and grey — a striking contrast against the soft, pastel blooms. With no one else around, it felt as though we had the entire Arboretum to ourselves. And, despite the crispness in the chilly morning air, sunlight filtered through the blossoms, wrapping Caroline and Ebuka in soft pink, white, and golden hues.
